The Life After is the rare book that truly gets better with each passing page. Joshua Hale Fialkov delivers some exceptional pacing, revealing his plot with the utmost patience and care. Seeing as we're dropped immediately into Jude and his world, the initial events are confusing to both reader and protagonist. Fialkov uses this confusion to great effect, crafting an ambitious, reflective and at times beautiful debut that's relatable on a very human level. His script is never sappy, never preachy, but somehow familiar, his Jude the perfect Everyman. I'll admit to being unsure of the book at first, feeling that the initial presentation was lacking and that the art didn't fit. As pages ticked by and pieces fell into place, skepticism turned to awe and dunce caps were distributed.
